Welcome to the August edition of the Monthly Marvel Muster. This month we have a passel of new ongoings spinning out of War of the Realms, two universes’ worth of summer Annuals, and the tragic tale of the Summer Special that almost was.

Monthly Marvel Muster: New Beginnings and Old Biases
Welcome to the May Monthly Marvel Muster. This month we have the beginning of War of the Realms, the reintroduction of another classic title with a decidedly modern twist, some new information about Jonathan Hickman’s plans for the X-Men, and the announcement of the nonsensically-named and questionably-staffed Marvel Comics #1000.
Monthly Marvel Muster: Springing Into Event Season
Welcome to the April Monthly Marvel Muster! I’m back with two months’ worth of news and reviews of what’s new at the House of Ideas. This month we have only three new ongoing series, but also a rather daunting list of new mini-series exploring every corner of the Marvel Universe.
Monthly Marvel Muster – The Beginning of a Monumental Year
Welcome back to the February edition of Monthly Marvel Muster.

Monthly Marvel Muster: Let the Answer Sustain You
Welcome to the Marvel Muster. We start things on a solemn note this month with last week’s news of the death of Stan Lee, the man who did more than anyone else to create and shape the Marvel comics universe. There have been many lovely tributes to Lee in the last few days; he influenced…
Monthly Marvel Muster: Deaths and Resurrections
Welcome to the Summer-into-Fall edition of the Monthly Marvel Muster. Back when this was merely the August Monthly Muster, it was coming to you from a lovely cottage by a lake, but alas, the weather intervened, so now it’s a month later and I’m ensconced in a cozy coffee shop instead.

Monthly Marvel Muster – The More Things Change
Welcome back to Monthly Marvel Muster. I’m back once again with all the exciting, and not-so-exciting, news Marvel Comics has to offer. This month we have more new series debuts, some welcome surprises, some baffling decisions, and some exciting announcements.
Monthly Marvel Muster – Everything Old is New Again

Welcome to Monthly Marvel Muster, as we look back on January. This column we have two character resurrections, the start of the much-hyped weekly Avengers: No Surrender, and a whole lot of miniseries and one-shots.
